This is an attachment providing guidance on construction contract administration policies and procedures. The document references Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 36.211(b), which mandates that federal agencies provide descriptions of their policies and procedures for definitizing equitable adjustments related to change orders under construction contracts, as well as data regarding the timeframe required to complete such definitizations. The specific policies and procedures applicable to the Department of the Interior are accessible through the DOI's acquisition policy website dedicated to construction contract administration. This attachment does not contain detailed substantive requirements or specific procedures itself, but rather directs parties to the referenced DOI resource for comprehensive information on how change orders and equitable adjustments are managed and processed within construction contracts administered by the National Park Service.
